FORT HUACHUCA, Ariz. — In a strategic move to bolster data security and protect against evolving cyber threats, the U.S. Army announces significant changes to access protocols for Army 365 services. With the maturation of remote capabilities and the introduction of more secure alternatives such as Azure Virtual Desktop and Hypori, the Army is prioritizing the safeguarding of sensitive information.
During the initial deployment of Army 365 amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, access and downloads were permitted from webmail to ensure continuity of operations. However, recognizing the escalating sophistication of cyberattacks, the Army is transitioning to more secure platforms like AVD, Hypori, and future offerings like Intune Mobile Access Management.
